I have just bought a 2023 Outback. Done a few hundred miles and loving it. I didn't realise that the roof rails swing through 90 degrees and become cross bars. So now I am looking at my best option for fixing bikes to the roof. I have Thule aero bars and bike carriers which are great. To use these on the Outback I would have to swap the feet on the end of the bars and then attach them to the Outback roof rails. The feet are about £120 and I might get £30 for my old feet. Alternatively I could use the roof rails in the cross bar position if I could adapt the bike carriers to fit a cross bar without the slot the aero bars have. Thule do make adapters - https://www.thule.com/-/s/approved/std.lang.all/16/19/511619.pdf?rev=1.5 and this would be a cheaper and more convenient option. Does anyone know if these fit the Outback rails/bars?

Given that this sub-forum is very quiet I may not get a great range of opinions however I'll try. I am looking at a 2021 Levorg as a replacement to our ageing CRV. We don't need the space or the step up/fall out convenience of an SUV. I've never owned a Subaru before but understand that they are competing with Toyota/Honda in terms of reliability. Our CRV has been superb and has been or cheapest motoring ever. However I don't like how it drives - far too soft and rolling. Our 2nd car is a Seat Leon FR which has a form, sport ride. This replaced a TTS Mk3 which was a retirement indulgence and an absolute hoot to drive. It was never intended to be a long term keeper. Normally we keep our cars until the die - the CRV is 11 years old and 140k miles. So replacement is not far away. What are they thoughst on the Levorg - driving, reliability, comfort etc? I'd welcome opinions before I go and look at the car I have seen online.
